Learn More About ExpressionEngine:
ExpressionEngine is a server-based software written in PHP which the company describes as no less than "the world's most creative and powerful web publishing software."
The EE commercial license is $249.95 for each installed copy of the software ($99 for non commercial, non-profit usage.) It is my interpretation that a single copy of EE can technically drive multiple sites under multiple domains, and this setting is not forbidden in the license. Technical support is available only through the company online support forums — a short inspection of those forums tells me that the developers are responsive and helpful.
EE is entirely PHP driven and does not build pages separately. Actually an ExpressionEngine-driven site consists of just a few PHP scripts that pulls content from the database and dynamically assemble it on the fly with the proper template. There is a cache system that helps reduce the number of requests made to the database by storing the result of certain requests to files on the file system. The URLs can be made search-engine friendly but since they must carry information about the template along with the data that needs to be assembled, the URL scheme is not as flexible as with MT (but they can, with some tweaking, be made rather short and user friendly.)
